Q

Endomysium

A

Connective tissue around muscle fiber

24
Q

T-tubules

A

T-tubules are extensions of cell membrane (sarcolemma) that associate with ends of Sarcoplasmic reticulum

25
Q

Proteins within myofibril

A

Myosin
Actin
Troponin
Tropomyosin
Titin
Nebulin

26
Q

Sarcomere

A

Unit of myofibril between 2 z-disks

27
Q

Skeletal muscles contain

A

Organized sarcomeres
Striped or striated
Like cardiac muscle

28
Q

Striation of skeletal muscle is

A

Alternation between A band and I band

29
Q

Myosin

A

Thick filament
Motor unit create movement
2 intertwined protein chains
Each myosin one actin binding site/one ATP binding site(ATP hydrolyses)

30
Q

Thick filament= —— myosin molecules

A

250

31
Q

Actin molecule

A

One actin=Globular g-actin
Polymerize to form F-actin
Each G-actin single myosin binding site

32
Q

Thin filaments

A

Two chains of F-actin intertwined

33
Q

Troponin

A

Trimeric protein
Bind to tropomyosin has 2 cCa binding site

34
Q

Tropomyosin

A

Long protein dimer attach to actin
Covering the myosin binding site
— so myosin cannot securely attach

35
Q

Titin

A

Huge, elastic, resting length
One Z disk to neighboring M line
Return stretched muscle to resting length

36
Q

Nebulin

A

Along thin filaments
Attach z disk but does not reach M line — inelastic molecule
Structural support for thin filament

37
Q

Molecules required for cross-bridge

A

Ca ion—enable myosin heads to attach actin by revealing myosin binding site
high-force cross-bridge formation
ATP—bind to myosin and allow it to detach from actin
cross-bridge cycling

38
Q

Without Ca

A

-Troponin is inactive
-Tropomyosin partially block myosin
-Myosin can bind to actin only weakly
-Low-force cross-bridge

39
Q

By increase in [Ca]

A

-activate troponin
-pulls tropomyosin away from myosin binding site
-myosin bind strongly to actin/complete power stroke
-actin filament moves

40
Q

Contraction cycle

A

1- ATP bind to myosin/myosin release actin
2- Myosin hydrolyze ATP
3- Energy from ATP will rotate myosin head
4- Power stroke happen (tropomyosin moves away)
5- myosin release ADP at the end of power stroke

41
Q

What doesn’t change length

A

Thick and thin filament
A band

42
Q

What change length during contraction

A

I band
H zone
Sarcomere shorten (z line closer)

43
Q

Excitation-Contraction coupling in skeletal muscle

A

1- somatic motor neurons release ACh at NMJ
2- net entry of Na from ACH-receptor-channels
3- AP
4- ap move in t-tubule
5- alter conformation DHP receptor
6- DHP open RyR channels in Sarcoplasmic reticulum which are mechanically gated
7- Ca enter cytoplasm
8- Ca bind to troponin
9- allow actin-myosin binding
10- myosin head execute power stroke
11- actin filament move toward centre of sarcomere

44
Q

Skeletal muscle relaxation (Ca removal)

A

1- sarcoplasmic Ca-ATPase (SERCA) pumps Ca back into SR
2- decrease free cytosolic Ca
3- Ca unbind with troponin
4- tropomyosin recovers binding site
5- myosin head release
6- titin pull filaments back to their relaxed position

45
Q

Muscle twitch

A

One contraction + one relaxation
In a single fiber

46
Q

Forces in skeletal muscle can

A

Sum

47
Q

Summation can lead to

A

1- unfused tetanus
2- complete tetanus

48
Q

Unfused tetanus

A

Allow muscle to relax slightly between stimuli

49
Q

Complete tetanus

A

Steady tension
No break
Full capacity

50
Q

Motor unit

A

One motor neuron and the muscle fiber it innervate

51
Q

Size of motor neuron related to

A

Need of refined movement

52
Q

More refined movement’

A

Fewer fibers per motor unit

53
Q

Order the motor units recruited is related to

A

Power needed to generate movement
— smaller motor unit recruited first

54
Q

Smaller motor neuron

A

Lower threshold for activation
Activate by lower frequency of stimulation from CNS

55
Q

Sarcomers contract with maximum force when ———

A

They are in their normal resting length prior to contraction
— optimal number of cross-bridges
